i think mccain is right. allow a vote. the most that will happen will be a really unimportant change in one of the laws on background checks and if you want to be seen as standing in the way of that i think it's a mistake. you won the debate. so now pocket it but allow the vote. >> it will be hard to paint the gop filibuster as anything but obstructionist especially with newtown families on the hill lobbying for a vote. again, while we understand the base politics on this issue this seems to be yet another way the gop brand is getting tarnished with swing voters. even with voters who may be sympathetic with the pro gun argument but are turned off by the idea of how politics is practiced in washington right now. by the way, this afternoon vice president biden will do yet another event on guns. this one with attorney general eric holder and law enforcement officials at the white house. most folks in washington who would like to see new gun control passed think there is no more flawed ally than new york city mayor michael blo

and ha senator mccain said. that he couldn't understand why anyone would want to filibuster the bill. we heard senator graham make a similar comment today. we're starting to see republicans come out in support of at least allowing a vote on this background checks bill. and as you've all been saying, not just in your show, but throughout the day. this is something that 90% of americans support. it's the most common sense of common sense gun safety improvements that we could do. we believe that the senate should do it. >> quickly on immigration, i know there are a lot of things that can come up at dinner. "meet the press" with lindsay graham, he said he thought what the president had been proposing is proposing in his budget is a step forward on entitlements, that he is now open, depending on what they get on the entitlement side to revenues and actually raising money through revenues. there's some movement there as well. what about immigration. there's talk today of a hang-up with marco rubio on the h 1 b visas?

you had to like what john mccain said. all you can say is whatever happens this time, and it's going to be less than, i think, the people around this table hope happens this time. even if you got background checks my hunch is a lot of people want more than that. the only thing i'm hoping is the debate is not the end of it but the beginning of it. over time, these issues evolve, they ripen and maybe this year you get this amount. what i'm hoping is rather than this being the peak because it's the reaction what happened to newtown and the rest this is the beginning of the change and public attitudes. we have seen with other issues the last couple of years whether it's gay marriage or immigration. >> it certainly has moved on the assault weapons. 60/40 now. >> i'm hoping seeing it less, if you will, as an event and more as a process. what i'm hoping that this is the beginning of a changed political -- so maybe this time around, lots of republicans filibuster but the next time around, they don't because they realize the politi

some of the criticism is being let by lindsey graham of south carolina and john mccain. here was senator graham just a short time ago this morning. >> this man in my view should be designated as a potential enemy combatant and we should be allowed to question him for intelligence gathering purposes to find out about future attacks and terrorist organizations that may exist that he has knowledge of, and that evidence cannot be used against him in trial. that evidence is used to protect us as a nation. >> but a suspect like this one in a case like this can't be tried in a military tribunal because of what's called the national defense authorization act of 2012, which basically says if you're an american citizen, to be tried as an enemy combatant, there has to at least be some tangible links that connect you to enemy forces. among them, al qaeda. the next question, though, is if he should be treated as a standard criminal defendant, or if some of the rights should be different given the accusations of terror against this man, dzhokhar tsarnaev. and that relates to in mirand

you had chambliss and isakson and lindsey graham and john mccain. this is the heart of what i call the legislative conservatives. they want to be involved in this deal. >> chuck, is there a leader of this group some one from whom the others are taking cues? >> i don't think there is a leader but i think there are pockets. i think pat toomey is very important. he was at the first dinner. people forget that. he has a lot of clout with some house conservatives and why he is important to have in deals. back when they did the big fiscal cliff deal on taxes, toomey signing off on it was a huge signal and a help to boehner. so he helps with one faction. then you have lindsey graham. i don't know if he a lot of followers but he and john mccain and the three of them together usually stick together. isakson and chambliss and corker and lamar. isakson i think is more of a leader than people realize. he did put together the roster for the second dinner with the president and he is somebody that seems to be comfortable getting involved with some of the -- in som
